100: Immortal Slaying Sword Technique

A moment later, the jade bottle was filled with essence blood, and Qin Chen respectfully handed it back.

Liu Ruyan looked at the jade bottle, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes.

As she left, she dropped a sentence: "Stay here obediently for the next few days. Once I've finished my business, we'll leave together."

"Yes!" Qin Chen bowed his head deeply, appearing extremely respectful; it was impossible to tell he was faking it.

Once Liu Ruyan's figure had completely vanished, Qin Chen's gaze suddenly froze like frost.

He picked up the teapot and poured scalding tea into a cup. White steam rose and billowed against his face, yet he seemed to have no sensation of it.

He quickly calmed down, and after thinking it over, he finally understood why Liu Ruyan had suddenly struck.

From the very first question she asked, Qin Chen had guessed the reason.

"I only smiled once, and she wanted to kill me?" Qin Chen clenched his fists fiercely. "Fine, Liu Ruyan. Sooner or later, I'll make you wish you were dead."

He began to contemplate a counterattack.

But he realized—no matter how he fought back in reality, it would be like an egg striking a stone, seeking his own destruction.

But he quickly steadied himself.

There were still a few days left; he couldn't panic.

As long as he didn't follow Liu Ruyan to Ningyue Immortal Mountain, there was still a chance.

Thinking of his recent gains, he composed himself and projected his Divine Sense into the System space to examine the repaired "heavenly craft tablet."

Within the void space, a ten-meter-tall jade stone tablet emitted a sharp and overbearing Aura.

Seeing the four large characters at the beginning, "Immortal Slaying Sword Art," Qin Chen was instantly overjoyed.

Suppressing his excitement, he read on carefully—

This Cultivation Technique is Dao-Grade, containing the most extreme offensive arts between heaven and earth, touching upon the Law's Origin. It is extremely difficult to practice for those who are not firm of will, decisive in slaughter, and possess an exceptionally powerful Primordial Spirit.

When practicing, one must use themselves as a conduit, refining wondrous treasures of heaven and earth into swords, mastering the attributes of the ten directions, and commanding the supreme sword Formation.

With one sword strike, mountains and rivers are extinguished.

When ten swords combine, one can slay immortals and gods.

He suppressed his joy and looked at the first Divine Ability, "Lonely Slaying Annihilation." To perform this Divine Ability, one needs an immortal slaying sword—

The union of man and sword transforms into an extremely condensed slaughtering sword light, ignoring most defenses of the same rank for a certain kill. Where the sword light passes, all things are annihilated, leaving only loneliness... Next, he looked at the second Divine Ability, "Two Principles Rotation," which requires two immortal slaying swords—

When the twin swords emerge, one is Yin and one is Yang, one for offense and one for defense, forming a ceaseless rotation of sword light. When attacking, it is like thunderous force; when defending, it is as immovable as a rock, crushing all incoming attacks... The third Divine Ability, "Three Talents Soul Slaughter," requires three immortal slaying swords—

The three swords occupy the positions of Heaven, Earth, and Man, their Sword Intent directly striking the opponent's Essence, Qi, and Spirit. Those struck not only suffer damage to their Physical Body and stagnation of their True Yuan, but their Divine Soul also feels as if it were being sliced by a thousand blades... The fourth Divine Ability, "Four Symbols Sealing Heaven," requires four immortal slaying swords—

The four swords guard the four directions, namely the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermilion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West, and the Black Tortoise of the North, forming an absolute sword domain that seals space, isolates Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and traps the enemy in a desperate land to be slaughtered at will... The fifth Divine Ability, "Five Elements Life and Death Sword Array," requires five immortal slaying swords—

Using the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth attribute immortal slaying swords as a foundation, it constructs a circular sword Formation, evolving into infinite attacks, comparable to the Reincarnation of life and death in a Small World... The sixth Divine Ability, "Six Harmonies Void Breaking," requires six immortal slaying swords—

This is the strongest single move. The six swords concentrate all slaughtering Sword Intent into a single point, erupting suddenly. The power of this strike is enough to tear through space and shatter the Void Realm... The seventh Divine Ability, "Big Dipper Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation," requires seven immortal slaying swords—

The seven swords draw upon the power of the stars, and the arranged sword Formation operates slowly like a millstone, raining down endless astral sword rain. Every ray of sword light is as heavy as a mountain and possesses boundless power... The eighth Divine Ability, "Eight Desolations Annihilation," requires eight immortal slaying swords—

The eight swords release the ultimate sword glow that annihilates everything. Where the sword light goes, it is not destruction, but "Return to Nothingness," completely erasing the target from the levels of time, space, and Karma... The ninth Divine Ability, "Nine Serenities Yellow Springs Sword Formation," requires nine immortal slaying swords—

Within the sword Formation, Death Qi permeates and resentful souls wail; it can devour vitality and freeze the Primordial Spirit, making it a certain-kill Formation against any living being... The tenth and final Divine Ability, "Ten Directions Immortal Slaying Sword Formation," requires ten immortal slaying swords—

The ten swords evolve the most complete Law of slaughter between heaven and earth. When the Formation map unfolds, it covers the ten directions of the universe, becoming a world of its own. Within the Formation, Sword Qi crisscrosses, and the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind are reshaped... After finishing the ten Divine Abilities of the "Immortal Slaying Sword Art," Qin Chen's fists were clenched in excitement.

But that wasn't all—

Because to perform the Divine Abilities of the "Immortal Slaying Sword Art," one needed "immortal slaying swords."

Qin Chen continued to look at the Materials and methods for the "immortal slaying sword."

Refining an immortal slaying sword requires Innate-grade Materials of the corresponding attribute. The primary Materials are:

tai bai profound gold (Metal)

divine wood branch (Wood)

tianyi true water (Water)

spirit of true fire (Fire)

nine heavens breathing soil (Earth)

tear of eternal frost (Ice)

gale essence (Wind)

Thunder Pool Primordial Liquid (Lightning)

Star River Crystal (Light)

Void Dark Essence (Dark)

The method for refining an immortal slaying sword is—

Choose any one of the ten primary Materials, supplemented by Five Elements essences, star sand, ten-thousand-year cold iron, Dragon Blood Crystal... ninety-nine kinds of rare spiritual Materials to harmonize and stimulate the Origin power of the primary material.

He then looked at the very bottom for the refining method—

The first step is Furnace Construction, which requires building an "innate true fire furnace" using a Formation in a geothermal fire vein or the Nine Heavens gale layer... The second step is Material Melting, where one primary material and ninety-nine supplementary Materials are cast into the furnace in sequence, calcined with Innate True Fire for eighty-one days to remove all Impurities... The third step is Shaping, using Divine Thought as a hammer to guide the liquid essence into the shape of a sword embryo. This process must continue for forty-nine days, with constant hammering and the engraving of basic tool inscriptions... The fourth step is Soul Condensation. At the moment the sword embryo takes shape, one must split a wisp of their own Divine Soul and three drops of heart's essence blood, striking them into the core of the sword embryo to bestow it with spirituality and a slaughtering sword soul... The fifth step is Nourishing, taking the newly formed immortal slaying sword into the Dantian Purple Mansion and nourishing it day and night with Natal True Yuan until the sword body and the Cultivator are of one mind... As he was watching, suddenly—

A cold sensation swept over his entire body. Qin Chen immediately retracted his Divine Sense and sat up straight.

He knew this was Liu Ruyan using her Divine Sense to investigate him.

"She's already planted a Slave Contract on me, and she's still this uneasy?"

"Does she really consider me such a treasure that she has to watch me this closely?"

"If I'm being watched by Liu Ruyan every moment, how can I find a chance to escape?"

He couldn't exactly refine a "heavenly spirit pill" and Breakthrough right under her nose, could he?

As he thought, his gaze swept over the noisy long street below—

The hawkers' cries were piercing, and the dust kicked up by carriages mixed with the smell of sweat wafted toward him. The entire street was like a boiling pot of copper coin porridge.

Two children kneeling at the street corner suddenly entered his line of sight—

Both were at most ten years old. The boy was so thin his ribs almost poked through his hemp clothes, and the girl's neck was as thin as a reed stalk that could be snapped with a pinch. They were knocking their foreheads against the scalding stone slabs to beg for food.

Just then,

A middle-aged man in fine silk clothes squatted down in front of the children—

The jade buckle on his belt strained against his round belly, and his oily face was almost pressed against the children's sallow faces.

"Poor children, where are your parents?" the middle-aged man asked.

The boy's lips were dry and cracked as he shook his head blankly. "We were abandoned on the street since we were young; we don't know who our parents are."

"Then how about this: follow me from now on, and I'll guarantee you'll be well-fed and well-clothed. How does that sound?" the middle-aged man said with a smile.

The boy's eyes widened. Could there really be such a good thing?

The boy kowtowed frantically, even pressing his sister's head down to kowtow with him, fearing the person before them would change his mind.

The middle-aged man nodded with a grin and was about to lead the two children away.

Seeing this scene, Qin Chen felt something was wrong.

Without hesitation, he immediately stood up, quietly leaped off the balcony, caught up to the middle-aged man, and blocked their path.
